Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Biotin has no known interaction with minoxidil. There is no published medical literature to the best of my knowledge that has shown any adverse outcomes when the two medications were used together.

It is very likely a dermatologist/ family physician has prescribed these to you. I would like to believe you are under the care of your healthcare provider to monitor the results of the treatment that you are taking.
